[quote=collady]She was only trying to help me get better, because I was too old to know what I was doing.
I am still laughing!
LOL!! That poor child! She has so much to learn--and probably the hard way!
I wonder if she will remember this encounter when she gets to be our age--probably not--she probably has selective memory to go with her rudeness!

Hmmm, 'too old to know what you are doing'? Does she think experience is purchased? She obviously thinks that we all just arrived at 'old' one day, and had done nothing up until that point.
Hmmpf, some people's children.... I do wonder what kind of parents could raise such a clueless child.
Good thing none of us chose our relatives, some people would spend a lot of time apologizing for 'our' bad choices. Mwahahahaha!

I hate that that happened to you. Yooung people don't always realize how ridiculous they sound. No excuse for bad manners tho. As for the quilt police in-general, I have decided that when they pay for my quilting supplies, the electricity used to sew and the gallons of diet coke I drink during my process, then and only then, will I heed their advice or acknowledge their rudeness!!

People are really stupid. This weekend end I put 2 of my quilts in an Auction for my Grand son to raise money for the gym.
They were put in a penny Auction next a a $10.00 gift certificate. Yeah TEAM. so stupid. My husband was next to the woman who won one of them I did all by hand 60x80. The Mother came over and said she like it because she had won another one and it was warm. Ya WARM MY ***. I guess I'll send them a roll of toilet paper next time. Boy Am I mad. I could have given my grandson the money it cost me instead of this.
Thy were so stupid they took $125.00 for a week in Nova Scotia.A trip to Disneyland for 4 $250.00. I have been to these Auctions at this place and thousands of dollars were made. I don't get how dumb there were. They had a Vascectomy in the live Auction. Who would bid on that. 1,000 dental work. No takers.
This does make me smile. My sons MOL is very New England person and at her church they Auctioned off a day in a Nudist Camp. That went for $150.00 and all the questions they could ask. IT was only worth $50.00.He said it was SO FUNNY.

I am so sorry this happened to you and your quilts. I think before we donate to things like this, we need to tell them how much money we have invested(and how much time) and that if they are not going to recoup a fair amount for it, then donate a gift certificate instead. Just my opinion.
